Midweek Games

[TheEndIsNigh]

What a relief. I thought we were going to end up in some weird space time continuum where we were in a permanent state of travelling to King’s Lynn and Dover only for the games to be called off when we got there.

I won’t believe anything until the whistle goes and we’ve kicked off. That Cleeve is a right scallywag.

The pitch looked glorious on the image on KL Twitter. I’ve played on better Sunday league surfaces. Should really suit Burchnall’s style of play.

We’ve been threatening to elaborately pass the ball into our own goal all season, tonight’s the night baby.

[Like a Glove]

Would take a draw

So would I. We’ll have Grant Smith back from suspension which is huge. Dillon Barnes, the keeper we got on loan from QPR to replace him, has been pants. We should have a fully fit squad, although we spent most of Saturday evening chasing shadows, so there may be a few changes.

Bet it is still a bog.

‘Bemused’?? Why would the ref be ‘bemused’ at having to conduct an inspection on a pitch that has seen games twice called off just an hour or so before kick off in the past fortnight, resulting in wasted journeys for two teams and hundreds of fans?

What a fucking weirdo.

I know you're league rivals and all, but please do us all a favour and smash the living shit out of King's Lynn. Put 9 or 10 past them, really hurt them.

our away form is pretty hang average and although we should win a massive banana skin of a result wouldn't be a total surprise.
We're down here for a reason.

Yeah, doom & gloom is a Notts fan’s default state but even the most optimistic of us can see that this game is all set up for a King’s Lynn victory. Guardiola could take the Man City team there tonight but stick them in a Notts shirt and it’s 1-0 King’s Lynn after a late back post header from a free kick.

We just struggle against these sides on these pitches and frankly, I don’t think we should have to play them. Why should Burchnall have to change when the rest of the league could?

 

[Cashis]

Routine County win pending

Burchnall has to go 4–4-2 with Mitchell and Wooton up top but he won’t, he will stick to his fancy European formations.

I live a 10 minute walk from The Shay, can hear the atmosphere building already.....

 

[Vanni]

Just saying like but there'll be no more pics of Cleevey posted on here if Kings Lynn were to finish in the bottom 3 spots so I'm keeping my fingers crossed they do stay up this year.

Yeah I know, our away fans are great aren’t they?

Enjoy your cup final.

I’ve told my lad that while in Halifax If he sees a guy with long white hair driving a Delorean, throw bricks at the fucker.

I'm not going to that game.

 

[ForzaCounty]

Currently in Altrincham market waiting to hear when the Notts game gets called off.

 

[jacobncfc]

Hahaha we’re telling Roberts he’s not going to Chesterfield with a stint at… left wing back!?!

Our tallest defender is about 5 foot 11. This is going very wrong.

 

[RavenBish]

it looks like Roberts or Vincent will be playing left wingback? He’s done it again.

Also, statistically, whenever Kyle Cameron isn’t fit, we lose so…it’s coming

 

[RavenBish]

Could also see Francis at LCB and Chicksen at LWB as an option.

Might be a good position for him you know, WBs are largely wingers anyway these days aren't they

He’s been here a couple of years and we’re still waiting for his first attempted tackle tbf.

 

[B2TF]

Enjoy your cup final.

We already had it at Chesterfield. Sorry to disappoint.

 

[spireite]

like busses, he'll be diving in like prime Gattuso tonight. Provided your left sided CB or holding mid can cover as he bombs on, you might be good

That'd be a great Back To The Future 4. I'll get my screen writers working on it.

 

[GTFCfish]

I like the look of our team sheet, we’re winning this fucker tonight.
